Smoking cessation (commonly known as quitting, or kicking the habit) is the effort to stop smoking tobacco products. Nicotine is a psychologically and physically addictive substance, and quitting smoking is commonly considered to be difficult. Psychological and pharmacological aids are available to help people quit smoking, although success rates are relatively low. As part of the wider tobacco control movement, there have been numerous advertising campaigns, smoking restriction policies, tobacco taxes, and other strategies to encourage people to quit smoking. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco use is one of the major causes of avoidable death worldwide.
Outline
Smoking has been associated with many negative health effects, and quitting smoking helps to reduce the risk of developing later health problems.
Psychological support, group therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy help people to quit. Medication, such as a nicotine replacement therapy product or Zyban/Wellbutrin, can also supplement these approaches. Medication without psychological support is generally discouraged, and some of the medical therapies themselves have been proven to be addictive and potentially dangerous if misused.
